Laugh

Famous quotes containing the word laugh:

“It is indeed very possible, that the Persons we laugh at may in the main of their Characters be much wiser Men than our selves; but if they would have us laugh at them, they must fall short of us in those Respects which stir up this Passion.”

Keep all you have of queenliness,
Forgetting that you once were slave,
And let your full lips laugh at Fate!”

“the red-lily,
a girl’s laugh caught in a kiss;”
it was his to pour in the vat
from which all poets dip and quaff,
for poets are brothers in this.”
